8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards ACRYLIC POLYMER N/AV WATER N/A INDUSTRIAL METH SPIRITS 1000ppm 2.2.4-trimethyl-1.3-Pentanediol monoisobutyrate N/AV Non-toxic additives N/AV Suppliers recommendation - maximum exposure for an 8 hour working day 5 days a week. Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Good general ventilation is normally sufficient. Ventilation required when spraying or applying in a confined area. In operations where natural ventilation is insufficient, eg spray painting or work in a closed area, exposures should be controlled where reasonably practical, by the use of mechanical exhaust ventilation. When this is not reasonably practicable, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be worn. With good ventilation - none required. In confined spaces and/or limited ventilation or in areas where the exposure standards may be exceeded, wear a cartridge respirator fitted with a cartridge suitable for organic vapours and particulates. Eye Protection Eye protection to prevent splashing in the eyes, eg. safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles. Personal Protective Equipment Hygiene Measures Wear overalls to keep skin contact to a minimum. Wear PVC or rubber gloves. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking. 9.
